Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Children, teenagers, and adults all want to feel in charge of their own lives; I believe in fostering your personal growth and change despite any obstacles you might encounter. As humans, we strive to feel capable, considered, content, centered, and connected to others. I will help you realize your inherent strengths; such as, encouraging parents to feel competent in their parenting strategies; guiding children and teens to respect and understand their parents’ values and expectations; bridging gaps in communication between couples and family members; and challenging you or your child to take new, manageable risks in your life.

During these challenging times, there is so much hope in new approaches that integrate mind-body science to improve emotional health and wellbeing. We have the capacity to create new realities when we understand the nature of our own patterns of thought and behavior. Two of the most important steps we can take towards improved emotional health are learning how to regulate our nervous system, and implementing specific strategies to change negative patterns of thinking. We have the profound capability to do this.

I have been treating women for over 25 years who are experiencing feelings of depression and/or anxiety that sometimes coincide with lifestyle transitions, such as pregnancy, new motherhood, postpartum depression, miscarriage, infertility, menopause, relationship issues, divorce, PMS or returning to the work force.

I can help you to find the relief that you deserve. I can help you feel like your "old self" again.

If you are on this page you know that life has its challenges There is suffering. Each of us in our own way is working to rise above our pain. For each of us these challenges are different. Some of us struggle with anxiety, others depression, some struggle to find love, others to end it. There are challenging relationships, children, work. Perhaps more difficult there is: death, loss, trauma, perhaps psychiatric or chronic medical illness. There is no shame in struggle. This is being human.
